I've recently explored Win95's multilingual support. On the
whole the support is pretty good and seems to integrate fairly
seamlessly with the whole environment, with the exception that
one has to choose a font specific to the character set in
question. Microsoft made a serious mistake, though, when it
included only Russian standard keyboard layouts for Russian. The
vast majority of American users of Win95 Russian support will
type best with layouts that are maximally homophonic with
American standard keyboards, such as the AATSEEL student keyboard
and variations thereof. So what we need in the meantime is a
keyboard reassignment utility that works and installs decently
into Win95. My current utility functions in Win95, but the
installation was buggy. Any suggestions out there for keyboard
utilities that are capable of remapping the entire keyboard under
Win95, that install cleanly, and that allow switching between two
or more keyboard layouts?
